Nontraditional fishing port proposed at Edco city, Nile delta coast
A nontraditional type of fishing port is proposed to be constructed at Edco city located on west side of the Nile Delta coast along the Mediterranean Sea. The fishermen of this city suffers from bone diseases as they use to push their boats manually to go in or out from the sea. The suggested port hasn’t any side effect on the coastal zone and it costs less than the traditional one. The field data collected by Coastal Research Institute (CoRI), research identity, has been analyzed and used as input of the two models. Shoreline survey was used to get the shoreline behavior along the study area and to calibrate the 1-D model. A two dimension model has been applied to get the wave distribution in the study area to study the wave behavior. The shoreline changes in the presence of the traditional port and the new one were conducted using one-dimensional numerical model. The study results showed that the proposed port has relatively low cost and has minimum coastal effect.
